One of the great pleasures of my job as a photojournalist is that I never know what story I will cover and the people I will meet as a result - the story on Rabbi Foster, Senior Rabbi of Temple Emanuel in Denver, was almost a history lesson for me on the transformation of Denver's Jewish community since he was ordained in 1970. Captivating, eloquent and charming, Rabbi Foster has been an icon for decades. His work in founding the Temple Emanuel Preschool and Kindergarten, Herzl Day School, Stepping Stones to a Jewish Me (an outreach program for interfaith families) in addition to his far reaching community work such as serving on the boards of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, National Council of Justice and Peace, United Way, and Allied Jewish Federation to name a few, demonstrate his commitment to the Jewish and secular community alike.
